4. IN A CALCULATION MACHINE, A COLUMNAR UNIT PHYSICALLY SEPARABLE AS AN ENTITY FROM THE MACHINE, COMPRISING A REGISTER ELEMENT, ELECTRICALLY ENERGIZABLE MEANS FOR ACTUATING SAID REGISTER ELEMENT, A PLURALITY OF DIGIT KEYS, MEANS OPERABLE BY SAID KEYS FOR CONTROLLING DIGITAL ACTUATION OF SAID REGISTER ELEMENT BY SAID ACTUATING MEANS, MEANS OPERABLE TO IMPART REPEATING SINGLE ACTUATIONS OF UNIT VALUE TO SAID REGISTER ELEMENT, AND MEANS OPERABLE COINCIDENTALLY WITH SAID REGISTER ELEMENT TO TERMINATE OPERATION OF SAID LAST RECITED MEANS WHEN SAID REGISTER ELEMENT REGISTERS "ZERO".
 6. A DIGITAL COLUMNAR UNIT FOR A MANUALLY CONTROLLED, KEY-RESPONSIVE CALCULATING MACHINE, COMPRISING A FRAME PLATE, A NUMERAL WHEEL ROTATABLY MOUNTED ON SAID FRAME PLATE, A RECIPROCAL ACTUATOR OPERABLE IN AN IDLE MOVEMENT IN ONE DIRECTION AND TO ACTUATE SAID NUMERAL WHEEL WHEN MOVED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, A PAIR OF SOLENOIDS SERIALLY OPERABLE TO RECIPROCATE SAID ACTUATOR, AND DIGITAL CONTROL MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY DETERMINING THE ORDINAL EXTENT OF RECIPROCAL MOVEMENT OF SAID ACTUATOR, COMPRISING A SERIES OF NORMALLY INOPERATIVE ORDINAL STOPS PIVOTALLY MOUNTED ON SAID FRAME PLATE, AND A SERIES OF DIGIT KEYS SLIDABLY MOUNED ON SAID FRAME PLATE AND SELECTIVELY OPERABLE, RESPECTIVELY, TO RENDER SAID ORDINAL STOPS OPERATIVE.
 13. A CALCULATING MACHINE, COMPRISING A MULTI-DENOMINATIONAL ORDER ACCUMULATOR HAVING A REGISTER ELEMENT IN EACH OTHER, ACTUATING MEANS FOR IMPARTING DIGITAL ACTUATIONS TO SAID REGISTER ELEMENTS, TEN''S CARRYING MECHANISM INCLUDING A SOLENOID IN EACH ORDER FOR IMPARTING A SINGLE UNIT OF ACTUATION TO THE DENOMINATIONALLY ASSOCIATED REGISTER ELEMENT, CARRY CONTROL MEANS IN EACH DENOMINATIONAL ORDER INCLUDING A NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH CONNECTED TO THE DENOMINATIONALLY ASSOCIATED SAID SOLENOID, INCLUDING MEANS OPERABLE COINCIDENTALLY WITH EACH REGISTER ELEMENT FOR CLOSING THE SAID SWITCH IN THE NEXT HIGHEST DENOMINATIONAL ORDER, AND ZEROIZING MEANS FOR CLEARING SAID ACCUMULATOR INCLUDING MEANS FOR CLOSING ALL OF SAID SWITCHES AND MEANS IN EACH DENOMINATIONAL ORDER OPERABLE BY SAID CARRY CONTROL MEANS FOR OPENING THE SAID SWITCH IN THE SAME ORDER WHEN THE REGISTER ELEMENT IN THAT ORDER REGISTER ZERO.
